TBone2K Posted June 4 #1 Share Posted June 4 So I got the invitation to "bid" for rooms upgrades from our oceanview balcony to various rooms all the way up to the Royal Loft. So I get it that these rooms are not guaranteed and may not even be available, but my question is this... The sliders for the "bid" seem to jump all the way from 0 to the top level, which is like $6000, I believe for the big rooms. Is there a way to put in a manual amount? Otherwise to me, it seems like less of a bid, and more of a random draw at a second chance to pay full price for the same room you didn't get in the first place.

Another_Critic Posted June 4 #2 Share Posted June 4 The slider will have various amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtaylor29 Posted June 4 #3 Share Posted June 4 You should be able to tap the slider at various amounts and decide where you want to land. We usually try slightly more than the minimum....then as it gets closer to sail date my hubby starts raising our bids....?!? Still don't think there's a rhyme or reason why we win sometimes and some times not....? I'm sure there's a formula to it but who knows what that is. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted June 4 #4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Each category that is available can be bid on individually. When selected, each category bid window slider will range in pricing for you to select. The amounts to be bid are selected from the slider. You just slide to the amount that you want to bid for each category in which you are interested. You can select one stateroom for a bid, or enter individual bids for all of them. If awarded, only one bid will be selected and you will be immediately billed for that stateroom and that will be your new reservation. Also note that the bid amounts are per person, up to two passengers per stateroom. So if there are currently two of you on a booking, the bid amount will be doubled.

TBone2K Posted June 5 Author #8 Share Posted June 5 (edited) I hadn't tried the arrows, thanks. Those increments are still big jumps though. I wish you could enter an amount manually. Edited June 5 by TBone2K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toddcan Posted June 5 #11 Share Posted June 5 And... just in case it's unknown... You can bid on all cabin categories they offer you. If you win, they will automatically cancel the other bids on the other cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
